So there's tons of stuff I have to write about Comic-Con, but I think I'll post the most exciting thing. I attended the SV panel (so stressful, but that's another story) and did what I swore I wouldn't do. As a result, I am able to give you a play-by-play of the S9 preview clip.
Please click under the cut if you want to read spoilers for Season 9 of Smallville. Originally posted at Divine Intervention. Please don't re-post this anywhere. But if, for some reason, you have the overwhelming urge, then at least credit. Thank you.
If you need help discerning dialogue in the clip, etc, this may help you clear up a few things. There still may be mistakes, however, so feel free to correct me.
PLAY BY PLAY of the S9 Preview Clip
Disclaimer: The vid is tilted at a bad angle because I was NOT supposed to be doing this and tried to be covert. Understand that I know this viewing sucks, but I'm sure a better one will be made available. ALSO, please forgive my commentary of "Holy shit"s, several "OH MY GOD"s chanted over and over again and random screaming, etc. It makes it very difficult to hear some of the voice-overs, if at all, and I apologize. I was in the moment. ;) Just realized this DISCLAIMER is for later when I'm actually done with posting it and you can see it.
Please remember I am only human and I might make mistakes with this, especially concerning the dialogue. Feel free to correct me. :)
AAAANNNNNDDDD..... Here we go!
In the beginning, after the nice compilation reel, there was a brief reel of the other superheroes Clark has acquainted himself with and/or members of the Justice League. Green Arrow, Impulse, Aquaman, Cyborg, Black Canary, Supergirl, the Legion, Martian Manhunter, etc. They showed flashes of the heroes' comic book counterparts and then live action version. It ends on Chloe as Watchtower.
She does not have a comic counterpart. :P
Then begins S9 reel.
Now on the brink of destiny
comes his darkest hour.
For even a hero has to pay
for the sins of his father
Begin with ending picture of Zod from S8 finale. Then overlaid with Kneel Before Zod.
Voice-over of Tess as we get flashes of Zod and his soldiers in the Luthor mansion. He has a chokehold on Tess in one scene as he says, "I will find the object we are looking for, or I will die in the quest!"
Cut to Lois. "The hell?" Turns to look.
Flash to her disappearing with the Legion ring.
Flash to picture of sun (Kandor...?) and Earth.
Cut to Chloe. "I think Lois, she traveled to the future."
Chloe's voice-over. "And she didn't come back alone." Clark's reaction to that.
Flash to Lois fighting some mysterious woman on a train. The train falls off the track from above.
Train catch! Clark with his hands on the train. Shot of Lois pressed up against the glass, unconscious. His look at seeing her... can't describe it, but it was really effective on the big screen, though it is actually quite short. This was my favorite part though. From the way he looks at her, I assumed this is his first time seeing her since she disappeared. (OOOORRRR, could this possibly be from the future?! I dunno.)
Flash to one of the new chicks with Clark behind her. She says, "I was never after Lois. I want you." Attacks Clark. He kicks her back and away to the other side of the barn(?).
Chloe with gun pointed to someone's head. Flash. "Ollie, Dinah, Bart - they all just vanished off the grid, but -" Cut to Dr. Hamilton. "They don't want to be found."
Ollie shirtless, punched into a chain-link fence by another muscle-y shirtless dude. Fight club-esque atmosphere.
Cut to quick shot of Ollie, before it then quickly cuts to Lois. "You're an obnoxious jackass."
Then quick cut to Tess seeing Oliver in her mirror (on the bed, again shirtless) - seems like a clip from Injustice.
Quick shot of Metropolis.
Lois voice-over as Lois picks up John Corben's name plaque from the desk across hers. Then it cuts to the scene where her voice-over actually takes place. She's on the phone with Corben. "John, after all the Blur's done for the world, who would be such a cynic?"
Cut to Corben replying. "There's another side to the Blur. I'm gonna expose him."
Flash of bloodied hand on the floor with multiple cuts, etc. More indeterminable flashes of med equipment, etc.
Cut to Tess. "Can he be revived?" And then new character. I assume this is the one who transitions Corben to Metallo. He's talking. "It's not exactly your basic -" And then it turns to voice-over. "- bypass surgery." We get the first shots of Metallo and his metal body with kryptonite heart.
Flash to empty phonebooth and then Clark as he speeds up to it (from Doomsday).
Lois in hospital gown. "It's almost midnight -" Turns to voiceover as we get her in a tank top running into earlier phonebooth. "I promised I'd meet him, I'm gonna be late!" She picks up the phone. "Hello?"
Cut to her outside on the street in same outfit. The camera circles her as she looks all around. "I promise you can trust me!"
Then what you all were waiting for... sex scene.
After Lois's proclamation in the night air, it flashes to clenching hands on (red?) sheets. Lois Voice-over: "I want to meet you." An image of Lois overlaid on the clenching hands, her eyes closed and she is lying down, facing up. Someone is on top of her. ;) There is a QUICK flash of Lois then on top of mystery person. So quick you might miss it - I had to pause the video. The next thing you'll probably really register after the clenching hands is Clark kissing mystery woman with her above him. ;) Very nice, lingering kiss. Cut to Lois, tilting her head back as Clark kisses her neck. She's obviously in his lap.
I use words mystery man and woman because at first glance, you don't know who is who until you see Clark kissing some woman. It then flashes to Lois and then, all of sudden, it's like, 'OMG, it was the two of them.' That's what it felt like upon first viewing. I wasn't able to tell the little flashes earlier due to quick editing, but now can because I can pause the video.
There are some more voice-overs going on after Lois says, "I want to meet you."However, you won't be able to clearly discern any of it as I'm going "OH MY GOD" over and over again as I see who is who. "I want you to show me what you can't show anyone else." Got it from another video. :)
Flash to Clark in Fortress talking. "Send her back."
Flash to some sort of satellite(?) in space.
Flash to mysterious figure pushing themselves up off the ground (in the Kent barn?) as Clark comes out of the dust behind, looking intimidating in his new black ensemble. T-shirt, trench coat, etc. "You followed Lois in the future and brought her to me - why?!" Mysterious figure turns out to be earlier woman Clark had kicked across the barn. She sayssomething, can't make it out because of another "OH MY GOD" from me. Sorry. "Because you betray us."
Flash to Clark sitting down somewhere. First looked like DP, but will probably be Watchtower. "She told me I would cause the end of the world."
Flashes to armageddon type images.
Cut to Clark in Fortress. "I've come this far and-" Turns to voice-over as it shows a shot of him in new black ensemble, arms held out on either side of him and he falls forward off the ledge of a building. It is nighttime with fires in the distance. "- I'm not going back."
Now more quick cuts/flashes.
Flash to explosion behind chain link fence. Oliver and Lois duck with Oliver grabbing her arms and pulling her down.
More quick flashes - I think these were used simply for action-y, flash-y purposes as it was one of not!Lex - the one connected to all the wires, then the quick flash of chains whipping out (the ones Zatanna casts).
Shot of full moon in the Metropolis sky, right by the DP.
Quick shot of Watchtower.
Chloe running. (From Odyssey in S8).
Tess with the bright light surrounding her and that sorta dazed look on her face, all because of the orb (from end of Injustice in S8).
The Persuader swinging at Clark (from Legion).
Clark crossing swords (?) with someone, looking all nitty-gritty.
Green Arrow rescuing Lois, pulling her up to the roof (from Arrow, I believe? when she gets tortured for info on the GA identity).
Toyman.
Quick flash on a train that zooms in on Lois crouching in the middle of the aisle, and then quickly cuts to a close-up of Lois opening her eyes, startled. She wakes, obviously just seeing the flash, her eyes wide. (This leads me to believe that the train catch might be in the future.)
Ollie punching earlier opponent from the fight club thing going on.
Large \S/ is burned onto a metal door. (I think this goes along with an earlier spoiler - a sign that that an area is under the Blur's protection.)
Clark in Fortress.
Shot of leather-dressed up girl (fish nets, mini-skirt, etc) holding up a sign (screen is cut off) as she comes through a chain-link entrance. It is Lois. She's holding up the sign that girls usually do as they announce the next round of a boxing match.
Quick shot of Clark and Lois at DP.
Camera begins speedily panning up from below the building, we get the ledge, and as the camera moves up and to the side, we get a sweeping shot of Clark in his new black superhero outfit as he looks around the city. \S/ on his chest. The camera moves up and behind him and we get a nice cool, ending shot of nighttime Metropolis as Clark looks out over the city.
END.
*wipes sweat* Whew. That's the play-by-play.
And yes, my video of the preview clip is the one floating around with the obnoxious screaming and several 'Oh my god's. And no, I was not on crack. :P
